Cell Structure and Function Chapter 7 EOC Goal 2
Review and Basic Information Cells are the basic unit of living things Organization of living things: cells tissues organs systems body
Important People in Cell History
Galileo (1620’s) Given credit as the first person to create a microscope (from a modified telescope)
Robert Hooke (1665) Observed cork cells (cork is dead plant matter) Named the CELL he said the cell looked like the “cells” in a monestary
Antony von Leeuwenhoek (1600’s) Observed microscopic organisms with the first true light microscope Observed the first bacterial cell (not seen again for over 200 years) Observed red blood cells
What Leeuwenhoek saw Spiral Bacteria Red Blood Cells
Robert Brown (1833) Botanist Observed that plant cells have a dark structure that stains in the middle Named the structure he saw the NUCLEUS
Matthias Schleiden (1838) Botanist Noticed that ALL plant tissues are composed of cells
Theodore Schwann (1839) Zoologist Noticed that all animal tissues were composed of cells
Francesco Redi (1700’s) Disproved SPONTANEOUS GENERATION (theory that all living things come from non- living matter) Used meat & maggots in his experiment
Redi’s Experiment
Rudolf Virchow (1858) Proposed that ALL cells come from pre- existing cells Refuted spontaneous generation Proposed BIOGENESIS (living things come from other living things)
Louis Pasteur (1862) Further disproved spontaneous generation using meat broth experiment Boiling a substance will kill any living matter (PASTEURIZATION)
Pasteur’s Experiment
What did we learn from these people?
THE CELL THEORY 1.All living things are made of cells (Schwann & Schleiden). 2.All cells arise from pre-existing cells (Virchow, Redi, Pasteur). 3.Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things (Schwann & Schleiden).
Two Basic Types of Cells Prokaryotes –Unicellular (made of one cell) –Do NOT have a nucleus –Example: bacteria
Two Basic Types of Cells Eukaryotes –Unicellular and Multicellular Multi = many cells –DO have a nucleus –Examples: Plants Animals Protists Fungi
